I don't have any more experience than you do, but I am trying my best to include my. 21 Month old in everything i do for my newborn. She gets diapers for me, holds the bottle, helps me burp her, we run over to her together to see whats wrong when she cries, we get down on the floor together for tummy time. And when the baby is just sleeping (which is most of the day) i make sure we have quality time for the two of us so she feels special. l Still have breakdowns with her, and tantrums and moments where she is jealous, but it has only been 3 weeks so we have to be nice to ourselves as parents! Going out is way more difficuIt, i definitely like to have help to do that but am trying to practice doing it alone more this week. :) we'll get the hang of it!

You just do it. Unless you are blessed with a very giving family that can help you out you just suck it up and deal with it. I have a 4 1/2 yr old, 3 yr old, and 20 mo old. I'm about to have a nb here hopefully any day now. I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. It does get stressful at times, but when they are all giggling and playing together...ahh life is great. Things do get hectic but it won't be like this forever. Just enjoy every moment.

If mine cry at the same time I tend to my oldest first. We are doing lots of easy activities,ive made edible playdough and finger paint. I painted a huge area in the playroom w chalk paint. Our sandbox and water table are popular, he can happily play and I can sit w baby.
